Unruly Women Pictures

Me as Hermione, Queen of Sicilia (Shakespeare) and as Ruth (Fried Green Tomatoes

So my friend Carrie and I were sitting in the Snow building, rehearsing our “W;t” scene, when suddenly I looked up and saw a huge spider descending towards Carrie’s face. The look on my face must’ve been one of pure terror because as soon as Carrie saw my expression, her eyes widened with concern. She instinctively looked up and saw the spider which caused us both to scream. I leapt out of my seat and started to hyperventilate.
It was at this point I heard laughter. Brother Benson, my 40-something film teacher from summer semester was holding a spool of thread on the end of which was dangling a rubber tarantula. He apologized, after we’d already forgiven him, and told us that the opportunity had been too perfect to pass up. After that, he tossed us some blonde oreos and he left me and Carrie to our rehearsal.
As I was leaving the building, I saw him snooping around the “fish bowl” (the main lobby area) looking for new victims. I asked him how it was going.
“Not so good.” He said. “No one here is eligible.”
I asked him what he meant.
“I have rules.” He explained. He then proceeded to tell me how he never scares someone with a laptop on their lap or with their head leaned against a pillar. He doesn’t want to cause injury or damage.
Good old Brother Benson.

Unruly Women

Once I got settled into my apartment and I had all my classes figured out, I went to the audition board to see if there were any shows I wanted to audition for. On the board, there was a flyer for a show called "Unarmed Warriors" that would be an all-girl cast. It stated when auditions would be held and listed the requirements for the auditions.

Well, I went out on a limb and auditioned. A few days later, I found out that I made it. I was so excited! Our first rehearsal the director, Hyrum, told us about the show: it was going to be a compilation of monologues and scenes about strong women who stood up for themselves. He also told us that the show's title was changed from "Unarmed Warriors" to "Unruly Women." Awesome.

Rehearsals for this show have been intense. For a month I have been working endlessly on two 3 minute monologues. Just when I'd think I had them perfect, Hyrum and the assistant directors would tear them apart and I'd have a million more things to work on. I like my pieces, I really do. But after doing them over and over and over...they're starting to wear on me.

It's been such a great experience. I've really had to get into the heads of my characters. If I really was Hermione, Queen of Sicilia, how would I move, how would I use my hands, what would I do with my facial expressions? If I really was Ruth Jamison, how would I walk, how would I tilt my head, what would my habitual movements be? Trying to think of all these things as I perform gets extremely difficult. But I get better every time. And I will continue to get better until, hopefully, I'm perfect at the performance.

I look back on my past acting and I have to shudder. I know so much more now than I did then. This has been so good for me.

Book Smart!

I am currently up at BYU-IDAHO. This picture was taken when I was up here in the summer last year. It is not that nice in January. It has been snowing constantly for the past week or so and the temperature got down to -20 the other day. All of the High Schools, Middle Schools, and Elementery Schools in the area were shut down because of the cold. But not the college. Nope. I still had to walk to school. I guess I shouldn't complain, it had warmed up to -11 by the time class was over. Don't get me wrong though, I am loving it up here: good classes, good roommates, cute boys. I'm just not loving the weather.

I Created a BLOG!!!!

Well, now that everyone on the planet is blogging, I thought I would too!
